POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS

mechanics, mechanobiology

computational & experimental

In 2024, Prof Stéphane Avril was awarded an ERC Advanced grant from the European Research Council for the project JuvenTwin “Multiscale mechanobiological synergies in vascular homeostasis, ageing and rejuvenation”, which aims to establish multiscale digital twins of ageing effects on vascular mechanobiology and to simulate and screen effective rejuvenation treatments.

For this project, we open non-permanent positions of post-doctoral fellow to join the Avril’s team. The work will be carried out at Mines Saint-Etienne, within the SAINBIOSE research unit (Inserm U1059). It is based at the Centre Ingénierie et Santé (Hospital campus at the North of Saint-Etienne). 

Candidates with strong backgrounds in engineering mechanics, biophysics, biomechanics, and/or applied mathematics (as proven through an internationally competitive track record) are expected to strive for excellence and to enthusiastically cross the boundaries between traditionally separated scientific disciplines, namely engineering, applied mathematics and physics, as well as the life sciences.

Situated in the dynamic Rhône-Alpes region (Lyon) in the heart of the European Union, Mines-Saint-Etienne is one of the oldest and most prestigious Grandes Ecoles, and has, since 1816, lived up to its motto “innovante par tradition - inspiring innovation“. Working in a culturally and scientifically most stimulating atmosphere, the successful candidates will earn internationally competitive salaries. Employment durations will vary between 2 and 3 years, extensions may be possible depending on the candidates’ performance.
